This is the novel of your dreams. . . . A friendly (but terrifying) and comic (but dark) and glittering (but bleak) story of misfit family life that unfolds along the side streets, back alleys, and spring-loaded trapdoors of the small town home you ll realize you ve always missed living in. Glen David Gold, author of Carter Beats the Devil and Sunnyside

Those of us who have gotten to know Night Vale through Cecil Palmer s biweekly radio broadcasts can finally see what it s like to actually live there. It is as weird and surreal as I hoped it would be, and a surprisingly existential meditation on the nature of time, reality, and the Glow Cloud that watches over us. Wil Wheaton

Take Conan s Hyboria, teleport it to the American Southwest, dress all the warriors in business casual and hide their swords under the floorboards that s Night Vale: absurd, magical, wholly engrossing, and always harboring some hidden menace. John Darnielle, author of Wolf in White Van

I ve been a fan of Welcome to Night Vale for years, and in that time writers Jeffrey Cranor and Joseph Fink have delighted me with stories that are clever, twisted, beautiful, strange, wonderful, and sweet. This book does all of that and so much more. It s even better than I d hoped. I think this might be the best book I ve read in years. Patrick Rothfuss, author of The Name of the Wind

This small town full of hooded figures, glowing clouds, cryptically terrifying public policies, and flickering realities quickly feels more like home than home. . . . There is nothing like Night Vale, in the best possible way. Maureen Johnson, author of 13 Little Blue Envelopes and The Name of the Star

They ve done the unthinkable: merged the high weirdness and intense drama of Night Vale to the pages of a novel that is even weirder, even more intense than the podcast. Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother and coeditor of Boing Boing"

Автор: Rushdie SalmanНазвание: Joseph AntonISBN: 0099563444 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780099563440Издательство: Random HouseРейтинг:Цена: 6000 T Наличие на складе: Есть Описание: From the author of The Satanic Verses and Midnight's Children, which was awarded the Best of the Booker Prize in 1993, comes an unflinchingly honest and fiercely funny account of a life turned upside-down.
On Valentine's Day, 1989, Salman Rushdie received a telephone call from a BBC journalist that would change his life forever: Ayatollah Khomeini, a leading Muslim scholar, had issued him with a death sentence. This is his own account of how he was forced to live in hiding for over a decade; at once intimate and explosive, this is the personal tale behind the international story.
How does a man live with the constant threat of murder? How does he continue to work when deprived of his freedom? How does he sustain friendships, or fall in and out of love? How does he fight back? For over a decade, Salman Rushdie dwelt in a world of secrecy and disguise, a world of security guards and armoured cars, of aliases and code names.
In Joseph Anton, Rushdie tells the remarkable story of one of the crucial battles, in our time, for freedom of speech.
